    Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is widely used in environmental, food, medicine, geology, metal materials, biological samples, chemical materials and other sample analysis.
    It can be used to detect other than He, Ne, F, H, O, N external elements almost all elements of analytical techniques
    .


    ICP-MS provides a very wide linear dynamic range (more than 7 orders of magnitude), and a very low detection limit


    In addition, ICP-MS can also be used to detect the presence of organic solvents in the matrix, which can correct for matrix interference effects
    .


    ICP-MS can quickly detect multiple elements in a small amount of samples (50-100uL)


    1.
    Principle ICP-MS is an inorganic element analysis technology.
    ICP is a high-temperature ion source.
    The argon gas is excited to form a plasma torch with a temperature of up to 10000k instantly through ICP high-energy excitation.
    The sample is ionized by the plasma torch and the ions are With a mass filter (MS), the concentration of the element to be measured can be determined by measuring the number of ions passing through the mass filter
    .

    2.
    Advantages and disadvantages

    (1) The sample demand is small, only a few microliters to a few milliliters
    .

    (2) The dynamic range is very wide
    .

    (3) Suitable for organic solvents
    .

    (4) It can measure multiple elements at the same time, which is a multi-element analysis technology
    .

    (5) Isotope identification and determination can be performed
    .

    (6) It has fast scanning capability (semi-quantitative analysis)
    .

    (7) It has an excellent detection limit
    .

    (8) Less interference and easy to eliminate
    .

    (9) The cost of the instrument is high
    .

    (10) At present, there are relatively few national standard detection methods available
    .

    3.
    The application of ICP-MS method has low detection limit, high sensitivity and little interference.
    It has achieved great success in the trace and ultra-trace analysis of inorganic elements.
    It has developed rapidly and is gradually becoming the mainstream technology of elemental analysis
    .


    It is widely used in agriculture, environmental protection, geology, water quality, food testing, medical research and other fields


    Currently, ICP-MS standard methods are on the increase, commonly used "Determination of Water 65 kinds of elements" (HJ700), "Determination of total arsenic and inorganic arsenic" (GB / T5009.
